Docent Program
Our docents are the heart of the AHEC’s day-to-day mission. Offering guided tours of our state-of-the-art facility, our docents welcome visitors through our doors. They share the history of the Holocaust, from the personal narratives of our Alabama Survivors to the major world events stamped across the pages of history. Empowering and engaging our visitors, our docents have the unique opportunity to meet the public where they are, passing on the lessons and legacy of the Holocaust.
Our docents complete a comprehensive six-month training program, working one-on-one with our staff. The AHEC Docent Program is funded in part by the Birmingham Jewish Foundation and the Susan Mott Foundation.
